Long ago, Princess Persephone Silverlight was cursed by an evil witch to die on her sixteenth birthday. For her safety, the King & Queen sent their baby girl to the tiny hamlet of Hawke’s Keep to be guarded by a peasant family. Fifteen years have passed, and not a soul in the kingdom remembers Princess Persephone, but Percy is known throughout Hawke’s keep for her quick-wit, kind heart, and immense beauty. Political unrest has left the kingdom in shambles and the people starving. With her throne under threat from treacherous usurper Lord Henry, Persephone decides she must break her curse and claim her rightful place as heir. Accompanied by self-proclaimed squire J.B. the Brave, and her trusty songbirds, Persephone must journey through the dark forest, crossing the veil of shadows to find the legendary waters of Nyx, said to lift any enchantment, before her time runs out.
A high fantasy AU based on Nancy & Jonathan's DnD characters from Stranger Things: Dungeons & Dragons: Tales from the Table
